Living Where the Cats Eat the Dogs
What began as a book of short stories about my 7-year adventure in the small country of Belize morphed into something much more profound! The journey sent me careening down a difficult road of self-discovery, chronicling past fragments of my unconventional life but also why my life was and continues to be unconventional. I dare to share details about myself that until recently were unknown to me. Not the usual fare, but a tossed salad of my peculiarities, adventures, science, religion, and philosophy, all rolled into one nonconformist tome. This is not a book for the faint-hearted or close-minded! It's not a book for the idealist, or the person that believes Homo sapiens are the pinnacle of ...

How Snakes Work
Anyone can look at a snake and see a creature unique unto itself, a reptile with a set of zoological and biological traits that are entirely its own. Just looking at this distinct animal raises many scientific questions. With regard to evolution, how did such an animal come to be? How does a snake move, and how do its sense organs differ from that of other reptiles? How does it eat, and how does it reproduce? Essentially, how does a snake "work"? In How Snakes Work: The Structure, Function and Behavior of the World's Snakes, leading zoologist Harvey B. Lillywhite has written the definitive scientific guide to the functional biology of snakes. Written for both herpetologists and a more genera...
Addicted to Bullshit
Lucky socks. Perineum sunning. Qi, Intelligent Design. Bigfoot. Throughout human history and even today, our quests to explain the unknown, calm our fears, and in many cases, seize power over the masses has resulted in addictions to outlandish, often downright ridiculous beliefs and superstitions. Embedded in culture and tradition across the globe, these entrenched beliefs have cost untold amounts of money and human suffering at the hands of shysters and con artists. While the practice of rumpology (predicting the future by reading the dimples on one's butt) may cause fits of laughter, many tenets from Holy books of over 10,000 religions across are no less ridiculous, grotesque at worst, and...

Ginseng Dreams
American Ginseng has a strange and perilous history. It has one of the longest germination periods of any known species, and only two environments in the world have offered the ideal growing conditions for wild ginseng. The first was the forests of northern China, which disappeared over a millennium ago, and the sole remaining habitat is the Appalachian Mountain region of eastern North America, an area now threatened by logging and mining. Chinese legend says that ginseng is the child of lightning. The two elemental forces of water and fire fight in an eternal struggle, pouring down rain and snow and blasting the earth with lightning. If that lightning happens to strike a spring of water, th...
